Promotion officials recently confirmed the welterweight pairing.
The “TUF 24” finale takes place at the Palms Casino Resort in Las
Vegas and will see reigning flyweight king Demetrious
Johnson defend his crown against the reality show winner in the
evening’s main event.

Masvidal was originally slated to face Kelvin
Gastelum at UFC Fight Night 98 in Mexico City on Nov. 5, but
plans changed when Gastelum was moved to UFC 205 for a matchup with
Donald
Cerrone. Masvidal halted a two-fight skid in his most recent
outing, as he outpointed Ross
Pearson at UFC 201.

Ellenberger, meanwhile, earned a much-needed victory when he
stopped Matt Brown
via technical knockout 1:46 into the first round of their UFC 201
encounter. Prior to that, “The Juggernaut” had lost five of his
previous six Octagon appearances.
